At 7:06 p.m., troopers responded to the crash at mile marker 39.6 on the Eastbound side of the highway, Trooper Jeff Flynn said. The crash involved a Mazda3, a Ford Expedition and a Setra bus — but Flynn said the investigation is ongoing, and he couldn't say which vehicle struck which, or why.

Four occupants of the Mazda and another nine from the Ford were taken to St. Clare's Hospital in Denville with minor injuries, Flynn said. None of the 54 occupants of the bus were hurt., he said.

The left two lanes of the highway were closed, but reopened about an hour later, Flynn said. Both smaller vehicles had to be towed from the scene, he said.

So far, no summonses have been filed, Flynn said.
